Need help for DQS function regarding ALL CAPS! - Sunshine State MT


Posted: Oct 01, 2010

Good morning ladies and gentleman from MQ.  I need your help.

On the ASR reports, how do you ALL CAPS a sentence?

Here's the deal . . . Say under allergies, the MD dictates no known drug allergies.  What I do is hilite the sentence and then Control, Shift, A.  After I do that, the sentences comes out No Known Drug Allergies (initial caps only).  Then I have to do the Control, Shift, A again and it will switch to ALL CAPS.

Is there an easier way to do this?

Thanks for any help, and have a great day!

 

 

 

all caps - just want to work

I think you can just continue to hold the control shift A till you get what you want for the phrase/sentence. That is the only way I know of anyway

Control Shift A is a toggle key that rotates through First letter first word capitalized, then First letter each word capitalized and then all caps. In order to make all caps, just do Control Shift AAA.

Thanks MT50. Works perfectly! - Sunshine State MT

BOS Rule For Drug Names In All Caps?
Mar 28, 2013

Does anyone know the BOS rule for drug names that are technically all caps, i.e., TUMS, GRALISE?  Do they stay all caps or is it okay to capitalize just the first letter, or is it company/client preference?  QA is telling me just to capitalize the first letter so as not to draw more attention than needed to the drug name in the report, but I can't document this in the Book of Style.  Thanks in advance! ...

For example,  I have my headings entered in as follows:  xpmh = PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: I will type my abbreviation and hit my space bar twice and while the abbreviation is still expanding, I will start my sentence, but if I hit the shift key and the first letter of the first word of my sentence too soon, I will get stuck in caps lock without the caps lock button being pushed.  Then if I hit shift and any letter (to capitalize), it will all be in lowercase as if caps lock is on, bu ...

Function Scale

For *pain* scale (1-10), i was taught to add the range if not dictated. Example: D: Pain was a 5. T: Pain was a 5/10. I'm not familiar with *function* scale.  This is a spine surgeon. This particular patient is having neck and shoulder issues (if that matters).  Is there a specific *function* scale?  If so, what is the range and do you add it like the pain scale, or do you guys just type as dictated without adding the range? ...
